Sophomore Class History Oil the twelfth of September in the year of 1917, Company ' 21 enlisted in the service for the honor and glory of Monmouth College. The company lacked in training, but not in spirit. When Captain McMichael called Attention , he found company ' 21 full of bright promises for tlic future of Camp Alonmouth. Scarcely had two weeks of hard training passed until they displayed their superiority, by hoisting the blue and gold upon the pole. This victory over company ' 20 was celebrated that night around the camp fire at the Weiner Tree . In athletics many of the privates of ' 21 proved their ability in sportsmanship, and were given the honor of representing Camp Monmouth in football, basket-ball and baseball. Their literary ability nuist also be mentioned, for four of them helped win the victories on the debate platform. The Red Cross workers added their liit to the cause of their country and camp by work- at the headquarters in McMichael Building. During the year many of the privates were transferred from Camp Monmouth for further training in the service of their country. On the twenty-second of l ' l)ruary, Cnmpanies ' 18, ' 19, ' 20 and ' 21, with their captains and lieutenants, united in a patriotic dinner in honor of the founder of their country. In June the lieutenants and privates were granted a three-months ' furlough. On Sep- tember 18, 1918, Captain McMichael summoned his lieutenants and privates to Camp Mon- mouth, where they entered upon another year of training. This year found many changes in the camp life, owing to the critical period of the War. From Company ' 21 four of the sergeants for the S. A. T. C. were chosen, including the Top Sergeant. The Red Cross workers were still faithful in their efforts to serve. King Flu endeavored to break up the camp, Ijut was unsuccessful, altho he brought about several weeks quarantine. When tlie whistles announced the glad tidings of the sign- ing of the Armistice on November the eleventh, the quarantine was lifted. This was a day long to be remembered, not only in Camp Monmouth, but all over the world. Demobilization of the S. A. T. C. began December nineteenth, while the Red Cross girls were away on their Holiday furlough. Although the S. A. T. C. and King Fhi put a damper on athletics for a time, when the basket-ball season began. Company ' 21 again went Over the Top in representing the Red and White. The literary activities were revived and for the second year Company ' 21 played an important part in the intercollegiate debates. Four of the six debators, who defeated Coe, after faithful training, were from this Company. The camp life was strenuous because of the training, nevertheless the privates found time to mingle in many social events. Perhaps the most enjoyable of these being the banquet held the twenty-first of February, when Company ' 21 entered upon the Peace Envoy. Under the splendid leadership of the captain and lieutenants, tliey have been loyal to the good blue and gold and have eiuleavored lo do tlieir bit for the honor of the Red and White. i ' o we ' ll boost the Sol homorc Class and the blue and gold An ' Everything.
